Proposed Dues Changes
The Finance Council has proposed, and the Executive Board has unanimously voted. to approve a change to the Membership Dues and Structure. The discussion period is now open and will close at the end of day on February the 23rd.
You can find the proposed changes linked here.The council and board feel these changes balance the financial needs of the organization to continue providing the resources and community we all want, while minimizing the cost burdens on individual members. Some things to note:
- Our last dues increase was in 2017 (and before that 2000)
- Inflationary pressure has caused costs across the board to increase
- We have finished recent years with an operational deficit, forcing us to dip into reserves and is unsustainable long term
- The Finance Council reviewed similar associations in the region and the proposed dues are either at similar levels, or lower
If the changes are approved, they will go into effect January 1, 2027.
